Ethicon XC200 LAPRA-TY Absorbable Suture Clips .118-.12" Box of 6

Ethicon LAPRA-TY™ Absorbable Suture Clips | Violet | XC200 | Box of 6

The Ethicon XC200 LAPRA-TY™ is a specialized laparoscopic fixation device designed to replace traditional intracorporeal knot-tying. In minimally invasive surgery, tying secure knots in deep pelvic or abdominal cavities can be technically challenging and time-consuming. The LAPRA-TY™ clip provides a rapid, mechanical alternative, securely anchoring the suture tail to maintain tension on the wound or ligation site.

Composed of Polydioxanone (PDS) polymer, these clips provide the extended wound support required for slowly healing tissues. They are color-coded Violet for high visibility under the laparoscope and are specifically calibrated for use with 2-0, 3-0, and 4-0 Coated VICRYL™ (Polyglactin 910) sutures.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Knot-Equivalent Security: LAPRA-TY™ clips are engineered to provide security equivalent to a traditional multi-throw surgical knot. By mechanically locking onto the VICRYL™ strand, they prevent suture slippage and maintain consistent tension on the tissue.

• Streamlined Laparoscopic Workflow: Eliminating the need for complex intracorporeal suturing significantly reduces total anesthesia time. This is particularly beneficial in single-port or restricted-space procedures where instrument maneuverability is limited.

• Extended PDS Absorption: Because the clips are made of polydioxanone, they maintain their mechanical grip during the critical initial healing phase and are absorbed gradually via hydrolysis. This eliminates the long-term foreign body risks associated with titanium or stainless steel clips.

• Atraumatic Low Profile: The small .12" width is designed to minimize bulk within the peritoneal cavity, reducing the risk of adhesions or localized tissue irritation while providing a rock-solid anchor for the suture.

• Precision Applicator Interface: The XC200 is designed for use with the dedicated Ethicon LAPRA-TY™ Applier, ensuring a consistent, "click-lock" closure every time without the risk of crushing the suture strand.

Applications

• Gynecology: Anchoring the suture during vaginal cuff closure or myomectomy.

• Gastrointestinal Surgery: Securing continuous suture lines in bowel resections or hiatal hernia repairs.

• Urology: Maintaining tension on the vesicourethral anastomosis during robotic or laparoscopic prostatectomy.

• General Laparoscopy: Any procedure utilizing 2-0 to 4-0 VICRYL™ where a terminal anchor is required.
